2 Reviews on “Dr Mojtaba Ghods”
After doing extensive research on doctors specialising in the field of Lipoedema, I decided on Dr Mojtaba Ghods. After making my decision, I realised I’d actually read and was thoroughly impressed by a research paper he was apart of long before I’d even decided to have surgery, which made me even more confident about my choice.
I had my first surgery on the 29/05/2024 receiving high volume liposuction for Lipoedema on my inner thighs to my knees. Everyone on the team, from Dr Ghods himself to Doctors Giw, Dr Teresa, Dr Salena and the rest of the medical team made me feel like I was their main priority. Having the operation in a hospital with 24/7 care is the optimal environment for this type of surgery, allowing for round the clock monitoring and 5 days in patient recovery. The care and attention I received was second to none and the hospital staff were simply amazing.
Dr Ghods has an outstanding team that he works with, which starts with his international liaison consultant Latitia, in the clinic’s office.
I recommend Dr Ghods and his team for the surgical treatment of Lipoedema and will be returning, from Australia for future treatments/ surgeries.
I had my first surgery with Dr Ghods and his team in October 2023, second one is in April. I had an excellent experience, support care, great recovery. High volume removal from front of legs. 5 day admission in the hospital to support recovery. The skill and knowledge of the Drs and Nursing Team was excellent.
